Did you know that your skin has its own 24-hour circadian rhythm, needing protection in the daytime and moving into repair mode at night while you are sleeping? While most of us are aware of the importance of cleansing and moisturizing at these critical times, you might be missing out on ‘the three secrets’ that could  change your entire skincare story.   

1. Concentrating on Neck and Décolletage

It’s often the things we don’t notice as much that reveal the most.. Wrinkles on the “Décolletage” can age you more than wrinkles on your face!  The Décolletage (or the area around the neck, upper chest, and cleavage) is prone to aging faster, as it has less elasticity than your facial skin.

To delay signs of aging on Décolletage, use “BioScience Peptide Complex + (followed by) Collagen Boost Serum” 2X times a day as a part of your dosha-based regimen.

Always use upward strokes to massage these serums onto your skin, starting from your chest onto the cleavage, neck, and shoulders.

Using BioScience Peptide Complex followed by Collagen Boost Serum not only encourages collagen synthesis but also strengthens the skin matrix to its maximum potential. The result is – slower progression (or even reversal) of fine lines/ wrinkles with improved firmness and elasticity. 

Editor’s Pro Tip: Use Sun Protect SPF 30+ (as the last step of your daytime regimen) to prevent the damaging/photoaging effects of the UV rays on the skin.  

2. Using Hydrator

What’s next in order after cleansing your face with an Organic Cleanser? Do you directly apply a moisturizer or a serum?

Before setting up the skin for the repair phase of your skin’s daily cycles  (using effective serums), it’s important to undergo a ‘preparation pH balancing phase’ with the help of Organic Hydrators.

Adding this one simple step in your skin care regimen can provide a whole new dimension to your regimen. The prep-phase balances the skin to its optimum pH levels and allows serums to absorb more fully and effectively perform their functions better.

Enriched with humectants that absorb water from the atmosphere onto your skin, a hydrator keeps the skin feeling matte, yet moisturized for a long-time.

The best hydrators/toners are made of ingredients like –

• Aloe Vera & Vitamin E (for hydration)
• Salicylic acid from White Willow Bark, Neem, and Peppermint (for fighting bacteria)
• Comfrey, Green Tea & Calendula (for calmness)
• Gotu Kola & Vitamin C (for antioxidants)…and more….

Our hydrators are also designed to work as a traditional toner (without alcohol in any form) by removing any last trace of dirt, grime, excess oil, or make-up particles.

You can use our hydrators at any time of the day as an instant skin energizer.

3. A Corrective Eye Treatment

Another habitually neglected part of the face is the sensitive and delicate area around the eyes. As you progress through your beautiful 30s and beyond, fine lines called ‘crow’s feet’ around the outer corner of your eye gradually become more prominent.

For this, the two available treatments are:

• Aloe Eye Serum (Daytime)
• Eyeline Prevention Oil (Night time treatment)

Aloe Eye Serum daytime treatment should be applied after treatment serum(s) and before sunscreen, or whenever your eyes feel tired. Eyeline Prevention Oil should be the last step of your nighttime treatment. Both treatments are effective in reducing puffy eyes/ eye bags and dark circles.
